Rated 5/5
Review by Asherett Aug 26, 2004 (edited over 5 years ago)
A brilliant debut album from australian Paul McCosh. Fractal glider has a rather unique sound, mixing very complex multilayered soundscapes with danceable and often quite hard beats. The overall sound is quite oldschool, artists like Slinky Wizard, Oforia,and early Pleiadians come to mind, but heavily influenced by modern full-on psytrance. Make no mistake though, this is maximalistic melodic music through and through, while avoiding simplistic "cheesy" lines. As this is one of the very best psy albums I've heard in a long time, I find it difficult to choose favorite tracks; but Mezmorized and Colonization stand out with their massive maddening melodies. Another album that shows 'oldschool' melodic psychedelic trance is far from dead, Parasite comes highly recommended for all goa fans!
